Closed Caption Problem

Possible Remedy

My TV is showing captions that are
misspelled.

My TV will not show the text in its entirety
or there is a delay of what is being said.

My captions are scrambled with white
boxes on the TV screen.

My program guide listed a TV show as
being closed captioned
but none of the captions were displayed.

My prerecorded videotape does not show
any captions. The tape box mentions it
being closed captioned.

My TV screen shows a black box on certain
channels.

You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the
closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrect-
ed. A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words
because of the normal time available for editing the captions.

Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue
are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production compa-
nies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute.
If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that
the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.

Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc.
may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.

Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to the
actual program so that additional advertising time can be given.
Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions
will be lost.

The videotape was either an illegal copying or the tape duplicating
company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the
copying process.

You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION
[OFF].

MAINTENANCE

V-CHIP SET UP

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs, unedited movies
on premium cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to pro-
gramming if the program's rating meets the limitations you select. In this case, "PROTECTED
PROGRAM by ..." message appears on the TV screen.
To block ratings, follow the steps below.

Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or according
to the Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set
your limits in both places (MPAA RATING and TV RATING).
